20:17:06 <ennael> yep 20:17:10 <AL13N> k thx 20:17:31 <ennael> release freeze is planned for 07/04 20:17:48 <ennael> so basically a bit more than 2 weeks 20:18:05 <bkor> GNOME 3.4.1 is due Apr 18 btw 20:18:23 <ennael> well same rule will be applied for release freeze 20:18:36 <coincoin> shotwell 0.12 (final) will arrive in a few days... 2 weeks late (only 70 bugs remaninng) 20:18:38 <ennael> no more packages submitted except the one asked on -dev 20:19:02 <ennael> anything to add on freezes ? 20:19:38 <coincoin> can I push new version if their is no "bug fixes" but important improvement? 20:20:04 <ennael> we should not 20:20:16 <coincoin> like for calibre (Ipad3 support and Kindle Fire: ok on my laptop) or phoronix-test-suite 20:20:44 <ennael> avery softwares have big improvements in more recent version :) 20:21:04 <ennael> at one point we have to stop updating 20:21:09 <coincoin> yes but iPad3 and Kindle support for a ebook reader... :) 20:21:12 <coincoin> k 20:21:21 <ennael> you can use backport then 20:21:28 <grenoya> /win 18 20:21:30 <AL13N> i think we should just make a decision to open up backports after release, which will likely end this current discussion 20:21:33 <grenoya> oops /o\ 20:21:40 <coincoin> ennael: ok 20:21:50 <ennael> ok next topic to illustrate this 20:21:55 <AL13N> ok 20:21:56 <ennael> #topic bug tracking (release_blocker bugs) 20:22:04 <ennael> my favorite subject at the moment 20:22:53 * AL13N watches tumbleweed go by 20:23:31 <ennael> https://bugs.mageia.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&remaction=run&namedcmd=release_blocker&sharer_id=69 20:23:33 <erzulie> [ Log in to Bugzilla ] 20:23:48 <ennael> this should be our fixed idea for coming days 20:24:16 <ennael> triage team around ? 20:24:21 <marja> I'm here 20:24:24 <Remmy> I'm here 20:24:26 <ennael> ah :) 20:24:52 <Remmy> As always, we can use your help in handling bug reports... but other than the usual mantra 20:24:53 <ennael> so we need to follow this list and update bugs, ping reporter or packagers 20:25:08 <ennael> coling_ around ? 20:25:15 <Remmy> we'd also like to ask people to assist with the release blocking bugs 20:25:22 <Remmy> and other bugs listed as major 20:25:25 <ennael> you can :) 20:25:38 <ennael> I will mail -dev about this specific subject 20:25:39 <Remmy> even when they are not *your* package or your area of expertise 20:25:50 <ennael> yes that was the meaning of this topic 20:25:59 <Remmy> help is most welcome if we want to have Mageia 2 a stable release 20:26:05 <Remmy> :) 20:26:19 <AL13N> can we have a list of such bugs related to packages without (active) maintainer? 20:26:31 <AL13N> i mean, specifically listed in the email itself (not a link to it)? 20:26:56 <marja> AL13N: I'll make a list 20:27:08 <Remmy> There are quite a few bugs related to the install process for example, but tv can't do them all by himself 20:27:13 <AL13N> i think it might help raise awareness 20:28:01 <Remmy> And if I may say something else on the subject? 20:28:09 <ennael> yep ? 20:28:33 <Remmy> We probably should set a target on how many blocking and major bugs we can have before releasing a rc 20:29:03 <ennael> well answer is rather simple 20:29:04 <Remmy> We are busy pushing beta after alpha out, but some important bugs get little love and attention 20:29:05 <AL13N> a daily countdown? 20:29:21 <ennael> 0 release_blocker bugs 20:29:27 <marja> AL13N: there is no need to make a list, I sorted it, all the ones assigned to bugsquad have no maintainer 20:29:31 <marja> AL13N: https://bugs.mageia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&email1=bugsquad%40mageia.org&emailtype1=substring&priority=release_blocker&query_format=advanced&order=assigned_to%2Cbug_id%20DESC&query_based_on= 20:29:33 <erzulie> [ Bug List ] 20:29:43 <ennael> so there is 2 solutions 20:29:47 <ennael> either it's fixed 20:29:57 <AL13N> marja: thx 20:29:58 <ennael> or some of them can downgraded 20:30:01 <ennael> be 20:30:12 <Remmy> And perhaps a few need upgrading too :( 20:30:17 <ennael> maybe 20:30:34 <ennael> so please do not hesitate to ask on irc or on -dev if you have any doubt on this 20:30:56 <ennael> if we need more time than expected then we will delay this release 20:31:04 <ennael> but still we have some time left 20:31:15 <Remmy> We can do a "bug of the day" thing, but I fear it will be the usual suspects who'll have to work on it. 20:31:31 <ennael> well let's try 20:32:07 <Remmy> Ok 20:32:25 <ennael> we can plan this now ? 20:32:26 <Remmy> I'll fully commit leuhmanu to this :P 20:32:34 * Remmy looks at Marja 20:32:35 <AL13N> :) 20:32:35 <marja> grinz 20:32:49 <Remmy> I think bugsquad can beat some drums the next weeks 20:33:36 <ennael> what about starting friday until monday ?
